"And I do have to say how brave you and Clive have been to put yourselves first and do what was right for you two. Onwards and upwards and hopefully new opportunities and exciting times are ahead for all of you."

Amanda Owen and her husband Clive have separated

A third added: "So sorry to hear about you and Clive. Thank you for all the TV programmes and books that you gave us so much joy over the years watching your delightful family. Good luck to you all for the future."

A fourth simply put: "Sometimes we have to move forward and do what's best for the individual. All the best to you both."

The news was perhaps less of a shock to those who have been following Amanda and Owen's journey as the couple informed fans they were going through "a rocky patch" last November. However, it seems the pair, who married in 2000 and share nine children, have gone their separate ways.

Amanda shared the news on Instagram

Amanda wrote on Instagram in part: "Clive and I are sad to confirm that we have made the difficult decision to separate. This hasn't been easy, but we both believe it's the right choice for the future of our family.
